After a classic meet-cute, sardonic cool girl Emma (Zendaya) and buttoned up Brit Charlie (Pattinson) set about building their lives together. On the week of their wedding, in a flurry of menu tasting and photography tests, they take the opportunity to learn more about each other. Chaos, inevitably, ensues.

Told with Norwegian writer and director Kristoffer Borgli's (Sick of Myself, Dream Scenario) typically absurdist style, Pattinson and Zendaya thrive in this not-so-typical rom-com.
